Anytime Fitness

I recently joined and just wanted to say thank you Cindy for providing a thorough, non pushy sales presentation and tour. We all know how the big name gyms can be. I always feel sold to and condescended. So happy to have found your clean, never crowded gym. I feel it is worth a little bit more to get all the perks of this facility (plus others when i travel). Thank you Wade for kicking my butt in that first free session. Looking forward to getting back on track and i just LOVE that it truly is anytime on my time. Awesome.

Pros:
–No crowds
— great equipment
— towel service
— 24 hour access
— Four squat racks and one smith machine
— Allowed to use of chalk
— bumper plates
— awesome staff
— clean bathrooms
Cons
…I cant really think of any. This gym is almost perfect. If i had to complain i guess it would be for additional small things like, a Rogue landmine, replace the damaged bumper plates (stop letting cross-​fit/​power-​lifter little guys slam the 25lb bumper plates) and more 2.5 lb plates. I really think this gym is Orange County’s hidden gem. I really shouldn’t post this because it might ruin the secret. I always wonder what are the owners going to do when they out grow the space because a place this nice will eventually become over crowded.

My favorite gym. I came looking for a gym that:
— wasn’t too crowded
— has plenty of clean and well-​maintained equipment
— 24 hour access
— squat racks (there are 4 and a smith machine)
— allow use of chalk
— heavy free weights (up to 150lb dumbbells!)
— friendly staff
— clean bathrooms
and this Anytime Fitness definitely checks all of the boxes. It is a tad pricer than other gyms (I pay $ 36/​month with the Unilocal deal) but in my opinion it’s quite worth it. Not to mention you become familiar with other people here and it’s like a little family.
If you’re looking to powerlift, bodybuild, work on your cardio, or simply just maintain your fitness, this is a gym I highly recommend.
The staff also really listens to your suggestions as well. They recently asked for the members to vote on a new exercise equipment and they actually provided it! Hello glute-​ham raises and stairmaster!

«Not the cheapest gym» but I would rather pay a little more for the environment and availability of equipment. I really like the home-​gym feel & seeing pretty much the same regulars. Even though it’s small, there’s everything you could possible want/​need to have a good workout and kick your own ass.

Plenty of equipment to go around.
Bathroom sinks were clogged and weight plates were strewn everywhere.
Signs and reminders posted annoyingly everywhere which the nighttime visitors ignore.
Everyone prefers to throw their barbells down like they’re in the CrossFit games.
Couldn’t find sweat towels.

Plenty of squat racks, usually not packed, good selection of equipment. Staffed only during the day, and they’re very nice!

If you’re looking for a true 24-​hour personal gym experience then Anytime Fitness is right for you. I’ve had 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, and Gold’s in the past, and all were good for when I was looking for a cheap gym and was willing to sacrifice the quality of the facility and equipment.
Anytime fitness is never busy, always accessible, and has state-​of-​the-​art cardio equipment.
Pros: Tons of free weights, four drop-​weight racks, cardio equipment, private bathrooms, lockers, patrons, and management.
Cons: No stationary incline/​decline/​flat benches. Occasional grunters.
If you’re willing to spend slightly more than an LA Fitness membership, you’ll definitely be happy. They have a military discount too (CAC Required).

I had a free 14 day pass to try this gym out; Man it was fantastic.
I was greeted by the owner Cindy before I could start. She was very helpful and welcoming. She explained to me all the options of pricing available. What I loved was I never felt the pressure to sign on right away with them. All the staff here is wonderful and very helpful
This GYM HAS EVERYTHING. The have all new brand new treadmills (with cable tv’s) and cardio equipment for you to use. I was sad that I never got to try the bike that look like you we’re in a live video game. The have brand new machines. What impressed me the most was that they had 4 SQUAT RACK/​CAGES Available with its OWN SET OF BUMPER WEIGHTS. You’ll never go to a gym that has that. Plus they have dumbbell, s free weights, smith machine, cables, and dip/​pullups stations. They got ropes, and other stuff if your a calestenics guy like me. They even have a system where you do self aerobics in their aerobic room. I forgot what it was called but there like virtual classes. They have clean bathrooms and showers for you to use.
If you’re the type that HATES dealing with crowds at, this is your gym. I never came here in my 2 week pass where it was ever crowded. Meaning you don’t have to wait for a treadmill or squat rack like you would a big gym.
If you’re the type that is a beginner or gets intimidated by the crazy meat heads, this place is for you. Everyone who comes in to work out is all business. Everyone here is nice and nobody will bother you.
Unfortunately as much as I am the go and not knowing my exact schedule for work, I just could’t make this gym work for me as far. BUT if I could have dedicated myself to one gym, I would have signed up after the 1^st week. Yes, once you become a member here, you have ²⁴⁄₇ access. YES THAT INCLUDES HOLIDAYS. YES THAT MEANS WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT.
So if you live locally from here or work close by, I HIGHLY SUGGEST this the gym for you. Brand new equipment, a wonderful and happy staff, cool people who train AND NEVER ONCE WAS THIS PLACE ever crowded.
Again thanks for a great experience and I will gladly send any business your way

Everything you could want in a gym.
I’ve been a member at several different Gold’s Gyms, World’s Gym, Powerhouse Gym, a handful of cookie cutter global gyms, and I’ve trained at over 10 Anytime Fitness gyms nationwide. This gym is my favorite for several different reasons.
The environment is great for working towards your goals. There is a powerlifting niche here where you can workout around like minded individuals who share the same goals striving to get stronger and better at what they do. The magnitude of gym bros here is pleasantly low. You won’t see your typical meathead juiced and tanned looking for attention at this gym. You also won’t see your 150lb bro with invisible lat syndrome at this gym either. People here are very nice and supportive and generally humble.
You can actually lift. You have 4 lifting platforms and a power rack. You can drop weights. There are plenty of benches. There are plenty of barbells. You can use chalk. There are plenty weights. Dumbbells span up to 150lbs.
If you enjoy cardio, there is an array of up to date cardio equipment I’m sure you’ll be happy with the machines as well.
They never close. Any time of day you can come to Anytime fitness and have a great workout so the gym being closed is no longer an excuse!
Check it out for yourself.

After the Anytime Fitness fiasco in Westminster, I had to find a new AF gym to start going to. I went to the Long Beach ones, but they were a bit too far for me, and the Seal Beach owner wasn’t fun to deal with. Even though Cypress would be a bit more longer of a drive for me, everything about this place is pretty awesome.
When I first walked in, I was met by one of the owner’s sons that was helping out. Very nice, very helpful, and he wanted to answer all of my questions, but he didn’t know it. He even paced around a little bit, waiting for his brother to come over and be able to answer my questions. So endearing! They’re probably older than me, but I always appreciate people trying to help someone out. When the other brother came by (Wade), we got down to business. I explained the situation with the AF Westminster (which he was very familiar with), he got me started on some paperwork, activated my key, and told me that everything would be good to go in their gym after a few minutes. I came by a few hours later, tested my card, no issues. Unfortunately, because of the entire headache of AF Westminster, I had to become a trial gym member until they could fully transfer my account over. A bit of a pain, but, it’s okay. That was AF Westminster’s fault, not AF Cypress.
My monthly membership is automatically charged onto my credit card at the end of the month. Never had any issues with billing.
This gym is around the same size as the other AFs, but definitely smaller than Westminster. Regardless, they use the space well. ¹⁄₅ of the gym is for cardio machines, ¹⁄₅ of the gym is for the weight machines, ¹⁄₅ of the gym is for weights, ¹⁄₅ of the gym is the 2 shower/​rest rooms and 1 restroom, and ¹⁄₅ of the gym is that private room that you can do your own personalized classes. There’s no real pathway from the front door to the shower/​rest room to change, so sometimes I have to weave through the weight area. Not a big deal for me, but you gotta be very watchful because people here are very intense on their workouts and may not notice you behind or in front of them.
Clientele is young. Probably around college-​age. A lot of group of friends come by to work out. And, because they’re intense on their workout, they can be loud. I’ve never been a fan of weights being dropped on the floor above knee-​height, but that happens a lot here. Just ignore it and keep sweating.
It’s a good gym, but probably not the cleanest I’ve ever been to. I think the owners probably shake their heads when they go to the bathrooms. It’s hilarious because they have posted up small notes in different parts of each of the bathrooms on basic bathroom etiquette. I know they clean it everyday and I do trust the owners; it’s the clientele that I’m not too sure about, so I haven’t even tried to use the showers or even the toilets.
Peak hours are normally in the mornings before work/​school starts and in the later afternoon when most people are off of work/​school.
Parking lot is okay. You can almost always find parking. Asphalt probably needs to be redone in parts of it though, as it’s pretty bumpy. Also, if you’re coming in near where the Target is, there’s a HUGE dip, so be careful! Scraped my car a little hard coming down that area once. It’s pretty steep going up it, too, so if you’re using that same entrance to exit, slow down! Your car will thank you.

Time for another gym review.
I was in Anaheim for a convention. As usual, I ran into scheduling troubles for a Olympic Weightlifting gym that can accommodate my strange hours (early morning/​late night). After scouring the internet for a place with bumpers, I came across Anytime Fitness in Cypress, CA. I gave it a ⁴⁄₅ stars for various reasons. A real WL purist might give it a lower rating, but for me, it was good.
Pros:
Price/​Availability: For $ 25, I was able to get a two week pass, no questions asked. Sign up was fast an easy
Equipment: They had lots of bumpers (bumper plates) and 4 rack/​platform combos. Some other general fitness stuff as this is a fitness gym not a WL gym only.
Hours: This gym is open 24 hours
Crowd: At the hours I went, there was always at least 2 platforms open
Location: 6 miles from the Anaheim convention center, straight down Katella
Cons:
Equipment: Equipment was pretty beat up, bumpers were torn up, platforms were beat up. Bars were no-​name. Plates were colored lbs, that really threw me off, Red = 45 lbs, blue = 35 lbs
Cleanliness: I would’ve liked to see it cleaned up a bit. Equipment was strewn about, kinda dirty
I recommend this gym in Anaheim area and I hope they read this because with a little effort they could fix the cleanliness issue and maybe some capital to upgrade the equipment someday if/​when it makes business sense for them.

This is a great «One Off» Gym… I used to belong to the one in Fountain Valley and fell in love. They are pricier on monthly dues than a crunch or planet fitness but you really pay for the personal nature of the place. No crowds and its really like working out at a really awesome home gym. Best part of this place is the on demand video workouts. You can literally pick a workout on the computer, go into the aerobics room, shut the door and follow along to a great workout on the projector screen. Also this location is a great place if you’re into free weights and cross fit… they even have clean racks which are petty rare in most big gyms.
My one big gripe about this place is the bathrooms. I am a user of the showers as I head to the office after my workout and I think they clean the bathrooms mid-​day or not at all because by the time I get there the next morning at 4AM the bathroom is pretty un-kept…sink drains clogged up, stuff in the shower, etc… Put in a cleaning shift at midnight and this place will be 5-​stars.

I applaud the Anytime Fitness Franchise model for rescuing me and my physique from the bowls of main stream, cookie cutter, fast food gym joints.
Two years of 24 Hour Fitness took the best from me, and like a lift into Elysium I now am operating at peak potential in a healthy environment far from the dregs of society.
BONUS: The friendly staff/​family in Cypress rock! Come here for one on one personal customer appreciation, fun promotions, and the most complete squat rack and crossfit set up in town!

Canceled my 24 Hour Fitness membership and joined this gym instead.
Best decision I’ve ever made. It is indeed more expensive than a membership at 24 Hour Fitness, but if you really care about fitness and if it is a big part of your life, then you would make the decision to come to Anytime Fitness. It’s really worth it.

So I ended up cancelling my membership becausse I moved out of the area and was a bit bummed the termination fee was so big, considering I was alreay paying a lot monthly to have the membership, even though the gym is fairly small and doesn’t have lockerooms.
I joined a new gym closer to my house and defintely don’t miss the steep price of anytime fitness or the fact that they don’t have lockerooms/​saunas/​steamrooms! Their staff are all super polite though, so kudos to them!

Was looking for a new gym to check out on Unilocal and came across this gym. I’m really into powerlifting and couldn’t find any decent Deadlift or squat racks at any competing gyms.
Came in here, got a 14 day free pass from Cindy. She was the owner, super friendly and helpful.
The gym was a dream. Powerlifting dreams. Tons of power racks, small and cozy, and quiet and clean.
Highly recommend to strength or powerlifting. Will probably get a membership after the trial period! 5 stars!

Tired of waiting for people curling in the squat rack at 24?
Anytime Fitness is the place for you then.
The thing that attracted me the most was the set up of the half racks, bumper plates, and platforms. I always wanted a gym for serious training and this offers it. It even has above average weight dumbbells. It has more equipment than any gym I’ve seen around the area of northern Orange County. The place is clean, staff & members are friendly, and prices are affordable.
Another plus is that it’s in the same plaza as Chipotle & Subway for my post workout meals :)

They say Anytime Fitness and they really do mean any time. Although this is a smaller gym that is not always staffed, as a member, you can scan in any time you want a workout. It’s like 24-​hour fitness without all the crowds.
Being a brand new gym, the equipment is very new and almost looks untouched. I feel bad using it, but I guess that’s what I’m there for. The free weight section is not lacking either. I think their heaviest dumbbell is 125lbs. What I like most about this gym are the Olympic weight stations – there are 4 total outfitted with a platform and Olympic-​style weights. It’s a crazy set up and a crossfitter’s dream. They have kettlebells, medicine balls, battle ropes, and everything else you can think of to get a functional workout in.
In terms of location, the parking lot can get fairly busy, but I didn’t have a hard time finding parking. There is a Chipotle and Five Guys walking distance so if you want to refuel after your workout, you have some good choices!

What an amazing gym! I have been with 24 Hour Fitness forever and just tolerated the cookie-​cutter options and crowds. I never thought I would join a more intimate franchise like Anytime Fitness. Never say never, right? Everything is crisp, new and clean. In addition, this gym was designed to offer much more than just your average cardio and weight machines. While they have plenty of that in this space, there is a lot of functional and weightlifting equipment. Everything from Olympic-​style weight stations to gymnastic rings to a pegboard wall! Seriously, there are way more fitness toys here than in any other gym I have ever seen. Oh, and did I mention you can go on the internet from the cardio machines? Something for everybody!
If you are like me and need that extra level of accountability and motivation, you can work out with a personal trainer. I have been working out with Wade and know I am accomplishing more than I ever could on my own. It’s well-​worth the cost.
I don’t know what else to say other than you have to go check out this space. Whether you are a fitness novice or a guru, you will be impressed!

I switched over from Planet Fitness. Granted, it may be a little more expensive, but with everything they offer, its very well worth it.
When I walked into this gym, I felt at home. I seriously felt like I was welcome and was not being judged. The staff is great. Everything is perfect. I tend to go late nights so no one else is there so I get to have the entire place to myself. I’ve found home in a gym and I cannot be happier.
Thank you Anytime Fitness for putting a location so close to me.
